Talk:Omni-channel Retailing

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: speedy close. According to the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Processes beyond the scope of this page a requested move is not the appropriate way to move a page from user space. Instead {{subst:AFC submission/submit}} should be added to the top of the article - this will also get quicker results than a requested move. I suggest however you read WP:PROMOTE as, to me, it currently seems overly-promotional in tone. Dpmuk (talk) 22:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

--20thApril2014-- this article is clearly written by someone with intimate knowledge of the subject, it being laden with buzzwords & trade-speak. Since no particular company's strategy is mentioned it cannot be an advertisement for anything more than a methodology. I found the article informative.

Seems obvious, or trivial, is it relevant? Delete article?

I recognize that we have here a new definition for the English language. But WP is not a dictionary. And the content of the definition is just the normal, obvious way of doing business. Who in their right mind would offer a promotion in a store that is not offered online, or vice versa? To put a name to the right way to do business is trivial, and so this marketing-jargon article doesn't belong in WP. The references are to blogs, self-serving commercial sources, and dead links, so relevance has not been shown. Anyone familiar with this concept, please explain why it is relevant. If it cannot be shown to be relevant, someone (maybe me if I have time) should nominate this article for deletion. David Spector (talk) 20:17, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@David spector: David, unfortunately this is not at all trivial. Perhaps it is widespread within the US (I wouldn't know), but certainly not throughout the world. While it is true that the article in its present form isn't as helpful as it could be, the topic is definitely worth some explaining. Also, since this is an encyclopedia, just because something is trivial in your opinion doesn't mean there should not be an article about it. Finally, omni-channel retailing is actually a much-discussed topic among professionals, it comes up on every other professional forum (e.g. conferences, news outlets, etc., which is what brought me here as well), so I believe the notability of the subject is beyond doubt. I recommend a simple web search and you will see. Best, EstendorLin (talk) 16:54, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
